Week two! I am really enjoying this subscription. It is so awesome to create a new design every week with no restrictions other than local, in season, and fresh. I truly think this is the way to get the best flowers possible, and often the best designs too. If you start with super fresh, seasonal flowers, they do a lot of the work for you.
This was an exciting week because I got to use lots of flowers from the
Botanique Cutting Garden- it is so nice that all the digging (LOTS OF DIGGING), planting, mulching, seed rearing and planning is starting to pay off in such beautiful blooms.
Check out the petals on these parrot tulips! I am in love. I definitely want to plant more of these next year.
This week's arrangement included: Black Parrot Tulips, Lily of the Valley and Lilacs from the
Botanique Cutting Garden, and Delphinium, Sweet Peas, Lambs Ear foliage and Pearl Bush from
J. Foss Garden Flowers in Chehalis, WA.
P.S. The combination of lilac, lily of the valley and sweet peas is one of the most amazing fragrances I have ever experienced. Heavenly.
